He later recorded being present at a meeting between Ghaul and his Advisors Tlu'arg and Ilhali when news arrived of Ghaul's death at the hands of a Guardian of Humanity in the Sol System. Shagac recorded Calus's despair at the loss of his Shadows and belief that he had ruined them just as his empire had been.
However, most of the Shadows were soon lost in a failed assassination attempt on Dominus Ghaul. In this entry he condemned Tlazat and set down the "true" historical record of Calus's revelation and intentions behind the recruitment of Shadows. Revealing the treachery to the Emperor, Shagac replaced the executed Tlazat as the lead writer of the Chronicon starting with its six-hundred and second entry. Shagac loyally followed Calus along this path, but he eventually discovered that his fellow royal historian Tlazat doubted the validity of the Great Revelation and was recording those doubts within the Chronicon. Upon Calus's return to The Leviathan, he declared a that he had seen visions of the end and was to be its herald, thus beginning a campaign of pleasure and conquest that saw the recruitment of new Shadows into the ranks of the Loyalists and plots of vengeance against Dominus Ghaul. While Calus exited the ship in a pressure suit to confront the place of their exile head-on, Shagac and a dozen others lost consciousness before the mysterious assault ended.
When The Leviathan was suddenly thrust to the edge of the known galaxy and encountered an unknown presence that began shaking the vessel, Shagac was one of many Psions aboard who suffered ill-effects. Alongside Scribe Tlazat, he was appointed as a royal historian and charged with writing entries in the Chronicon, which Calus intended to be a "true" historical source from his perspective in the face of Dominus Ghaul's takeover of the Empire. In the aftermath of the Midnight Coup, Shagac was one of many Loyalists to Emperor Calus who accompanied him into exile from the Cabal Empire aboard The Leviathan.
